Gabby Agbonlahor makes '£100m' Kalvin Phillips to Tottenham jibe as 'deal all but done'
Kalvin Phillips has been caught in the crossfire online as Tottenham Hotspur continue their raid of Manchester City.
The 30-year-old midfielder has been sent out on yet another loan, re-joining Championship side Sheffield United for the 2026-27 season.
His time at the Etihad Stadium has been a complete failure, and very few would argue with that, making just 33 appearances in four years.
The Citizens have struggled to find a permanent move for the former Leeds United man, though, likely due to his eye-watering wages.
Man City are about to find new homes for both Savinho and Omar Marmoush, however, with Roberto De Zerbi adding them to his Spurs squad.
After agreeing on an £85million deal for the Brazilian, attention has turned to Erling Haaland's understudy, on his way out after just two seasons.
Kalvin Phillips at the butt of the joke again
Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Lilywhites are now confident of getting a deal for Marmoush across the line before the window shuts.
Understandably, Spurs supporters are excited about the business being done in North London, but Agbonlahor is more focused on the price tags.
In response, he wrote: "Kalvin Phillips to Spurs, £100million," with a crying emoji, clearly making a joke about the price of the combined deals.
With Atletico Madrid signing Julian Alvarez for £81m in 2024, Savinho is set to become Man City's all-time record sale, but very few understand why.
Who else could Tottenham sign before the window closes?
Much of the talk has been about Cody Gakpo and his future at Liverpool, with De Zerbi clearly a huge admirer of the Dutch winger.
While trust has been placed in Antonin Kinsky ahead of the new season, Football Insider understands that Aston Villa's Emi Martinez is a target.
Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta is also on the club's radar as Dominic Solanke continues to struggle, Mick Brown told Football Insider.
There is still plenty of time remaining for twists and turns in this summer's transfer window, and Spurs have not been afraid to splash the cash at all.
